Americanconsumernews.com took a look at LifeLock today and asked the question: Is LifeLock a scam?
The answer was, without a doubt, no.
The news blog took a look at the services offered by LifeLock, based in Tempe, Ariz., including monitoring the Internet for credit and non-credit related threats to consumer identity information. LifeLock monitors for fraudulent applications for retail credit cards, mortgage loans, auto loans, wireless services, utilities, check orders and reorders, and payday loans.
LifeLock also opts members out of pre-approved credit card offers in order to reduce unwanted junk mail and thereby reduce the risk of identity theft.
Also mentioned as reviewed as LifeLock’s WalletLock™ service, which protects LifeLock members in case their wallets or purses are stolen. As part of the service, LifeLock specialists will help members by canceling and replacing the lost contents of the wallet. If the thief tries to use the information or cards found in the wallet, LifeLock’s services will catch him before any damage can be done and notify the owner.
The blog also mentioned the LifeLock guarantee, which states that LifeLock will spend up to $1 million to help restore order for its members who fall victim to identity theft while under LifeLock’s care.
Americanconsumers.com found that the “service itself is not a scam.” It also mentioned that some of LifeLock’s services, such as checking credit reports and opting out of junk mail, can be done by consumers themselves for free.
“LifeLock’s value proposition is that it offers a number of additional services on top of credit monitoring, such as WalletLock™, TrueAddress™ and various automated alerts and reports,” the site concluded.
Overall, the blog drew the same conclusions that all others have: LifeLock is a service that no consumer can do without. While you can monitor your own credit report and opt out of junk mail, you can’t monitor the Internet for threats to your identity 24/7, like LifeLock does. And you won’t find a more affordable service that can.
